The Ulu Factory, Anchorage

Good place to visit and get a souvenir. One can get custom engraving on the blade. The knife and the cutting bowl are pretty good for certain dishes. Prices are very decent as well. Parking is plenty and staff is good except the person on the reception. Looked like he was not interested in job at all, not welcoming or making tour interesting.

The Ulu Factory is a cool store, but it is literally packed with merchandise and a lot of tours visit which means that it can get rather claustrophobic. But in the end its worth if you get a ulu which is a traditional rocking knife that is wicked sharp and chops herbs, cuts dried salami, cheese, etc like they are butter. Lots of ulu accessories although all you really need is an ulu and a leather sheath to prevent injury. Also some cool handles on some of the ulus. Take a look if you like cooking.
